How do you learn new stuff: read blogs or watch videos?

by•
As founders, we wear many hats. We all have to learn a bunch of new things DAILY. On any given topic, there is an overwhelming quantity of content. You have to search - vet - learn; rinse and repeat x 100 a day... What's the most effective learning method for you?

Both. But I have read blogs more than I have watched videos.

All of the above and more: - podcasts - blogs - summits and conferences - paid training - youtube - sometimes twitter threads

@andrei_petrik2 yes, sometimes I find very interesting and niche-specific stuff on Twitter. As long as you're following the right accounts, right?!:)

@arsen_misakyan absolutely

For me, its videos and podcasts as they are much engaging

@gurpinder_singh I listed to podcasts a lot, especially to real entrepreneur trial and error and success stories.

third option: i listen

paste any blog url into speakeasy (speakeasy.studio.gold) and it converts to audio. i get through 5-6 long articles a day on walks and commutes that i would literally never sit down to read. the "sit down and read a blog post" habit competes with my phone, my couch, my attention span. "listen while walking" competes with... nothing

the depth is still there — full article, not a summary — i'm just consuming it hands-free instead of screen-first

for videos i'm more selective bc you can't do much else while watching. blogs/written content i've almost fully switched to audio now. way better surface area for actually learning stuff 🎧
